How the action unfolded

FT: Altrincham 1 v 2 Chesterfield

Spireites go back to the top of the league.

Six unbeaten.

First away win of the season.

Back-to-back victories.

Uchegbulam, who has been lively since coming on, cuts inside and gets a shot off inside the area but it takes a deflection and goes for a corner.

Not much has happened in the last 10 minutes. Town need to concentrate though because Alty’s heads have not gone down.

For Horton for a trip.

Alty sub - 77 minutes

Former Spireite Marcus Dinanga is on.
